ephedra 'alkaloids'/ ephedra HCL

On most thermos the ingredients list ephedra or ephedra alkaloids. Since the HCL is pharmacutical grade (more potent), how many mg HCL is equal to mg of alkaloids. I was thinking that 25mg HCL was ~ to about 250 mg alk. Let me know what you guys think.

I've taken ephedra and ephedrine, and the ratio is not that drastic, I would say that 15mg of HCL is the equivalent to about 25mg of herbal stuff. But that is just me, other people might react differently to it.

Thanks LG, I'm making my own ECA. I ordered a stock pile of Vasopro, ephedra HCL. I use 1 tab 25mg of it with 200mg caffiene for an awsome thermo. I can also add the aspirin if I wanted and get the complete ECA stack.

There are many mixed opinions on aspirin with and ECA. It's intended purpose was putting less stress on the heart, however, it can cause extra stomach problems with constant use. I don't see it having any adverse effect on the Ephedrine though.

I thought I read a while back in a mag. that Ephedrine HCl is better than ephedra. Does anyone else agree/disagree with this?

If so, what are some of the best brands of ephedrine HCl to buy? I saw Vasopro above, but have also seen Pure Ephedrine by the makers of Stacker on Vitaglo. Anyone think this would be ok to get before the ban?
